Earthworks contractors since 1956
Trestrail earthmovers began over 6 decades ago, as a family based business based in the beautiful Adelaide hills. Since then the baton has been handed down and the second generation of expert earthmovers with the third generation now also starting to cut their teeth.
​
If you are looking for a hugely experienced, friendly and cost effective earthworks contractor to deal with then Steve and the team at Trestrail Earthmovers are your number one choice.
​
Our business will change the way you think about earthmoving. Full service and friendly staff ,backed by decades of expertise will leave wondering why you didn't do it earlier.
We prefer a consultative experience with our customers. Earthworks is a little understood business and if we can share our experience with you and or your builder or architect we will every time. Frequently we suggest changes to plans that deliver a far superior outcome at a better price than was first forecast.. We ensure that the best possible outcome is done first time, everytime.

Our Process
Moving dirt is the LAST thing we do. Earthworks is our specialty, working with landowners, builders and architects sharing this experience is where every one of our jobs start. We frequently provide advice that results in plan changes, cost reductions, more sensible layouts and happier clients. So well before we start on any earthworks we survey the site and discuss all approaches with all relevant stakeholders. Only when we have run through all the available options and settled upon the best course of action do we begin moving dirt.
​
When the earthworks start our highly trained staff and fleet of modern well maintained equipment make light work of what often looks like a difficult job. We pride ourselves on being a one stop shop catering to all our clients needs and specialising in projects that are a little out of the ordinary. With 6 decades of experience in earthworks in the Adelaide hills we are uniquely positioned to deliver above and beyond our clients expectations.

"After I briefed Steve on what I wanted to do and gave him a tour of the area he said, 'OK, here is what you want to do'. Steve's suggestions lead to a smaller, cheaper and more workable solution."
